Reasonably Priced Conveyancing

Hi,

If you are looking for value in conveyancing, you may want to use professional conveyancers.

And if you are selling a property, without any legal issues you are aware of, I would use a conveyancer because they are cheaper than most solicitors. (But only for Torrens Title & Strata Title). For company title or old system title I would definately use a solicitor who has experience in these type of titles as they are completly different and more complex than Torrens Title.(If you are not in NSW I don’t think you would have to worry about it though,,,,)

But if you are purchasing I would advise against using conveyancers unless if it is just transferring title between family members, or you are using them just to save your time for doing the conveyance yourself.

Also, another reason why I wouldn’t use a conveyancer when you are purchasing, is that a solicitor can advise you on which entity to purchase a property because he is at least aware of how CGT, GST will affect different entities and advise you appropriately. If you only intend to purchase one property and keep it as your PPOR you may not need to have a solicitor advise you on such issues. But if you plan to have more than one property then it may be wiser to use a solicitor who can advise you as to what kind of structure is available to purchase a property.

Currently I am working for a sole practitioner as a junior solicitor and trying to learn as much as I can about conveyancing, tax & legal issues because I also want to get involved in property investing in the future and I am writing from my experiences…..

If you have any further questions regarding the price of conveyancing in our practice you can PM me.

Hiflo makes some excellent points there. I too would only use a solicitor.
